Eden Hazard is genuine world-class player

According to former club captain Dennis Wise, Eden Hazard’s “frightening” ability makes him invaluable to Chelsea.

This term, he has contributed 24 goals for the Blues. Wise said: “His performances for Chelsea since he has come back from injury have been absolutely outstanding.”

“He has been like a one-man band at stages. Especially, last night you see how fantastic he was with his two goals. He creates things that other players can’t create. I think he is world class and it is up to him what he wants to do with himself, whether he wants to take himself to that next level.

“Only time will tell I think but some of the things he can do with a football are quite frightening. I see it [Conte’s future] until the end of the season at the moment,” Wise said.

“If they go and get in the Champions League and they win the FA Cup he has put himself in a good position and he’s comfortable. But if they don’t get in the Champions League and they don’t win a trophy, obviously the point of view will be that it hasn’t been that successful, it hasn’t been great and he’s spent an awful lot of money so therefore they would need to think about things.”
